The Virgin Valley Water District is facing an unexpected $100,000 repair bill for deteriorating impellers in three treatment plants, Kevin Brown, VVWD general manager, said.

The failure of an impeller that should have lasted five to 10 years reported at the last board meeting caused enough concern that Brown went the extra mile to investigate others in treatment plants 27, 28 and 29.
